Niche Player: Teldat

Hailing from Spain, privately held communications vendor Teldat goes to market with its primary SD-WAN product -- the Teldat M8Smart -- along with Cloud Net Manager, CNM Provisioner, CNM Controller and CNM Visualizer. The company has a focused presence in Europe and LATAM.

Teldat has successfully deployed large-scale WANs but it is increasingly focused on competitively priced solutions for midsized customers, Gartner said. The company goes to market primarily through carriers and MSPs.

Teldat has limited experience with enterprises that take a do-it-yourself approach, and has limited capabilities in application performance optimization, cloud features and security features, Gartner said.
